Performing a Memory Upgrade

CAUTION:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of

the components inside the system. See your System Information Guide for complete information about

safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

1. Open the bezel (see "

Removing the Bezel

").

2. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

3. Remove the cover (see "

Removing the Cover

").

4. Remove the cooling shroud (see "

Removing the Cooling Shroud

").

5. Install or replace the memory module pairs as necessary to reach the desired memory total (see "

Installing Memory

Modules

" and "

Removing Memory Modules

").

See

Figure 4-26

to locate the memory module connectors.

6. Replace the cooling shroud (see "

Replacing the Cooling Shroud

").

7. Replace the cover (see "

Replacing the Cover

").

8. Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.

After the system completes the POST routine, it runs a memory test.

The system detects that the new memory does not match the system configuration information, which is stored in

NVRAM. The monitor displays an error message that ends with the following words:

Press <F1> to continue; <F2> to enter System Setup

9. Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check the System Memory setting.

The system should have already changed the value in the System Memory setting to reflect the newly installed

memory.

10. If the System Memory value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Repeat

steps 1 through 8, ensuring that the memory modules are firmly seated in their connectors.

11. Run the system memory test in system diagnostics.
